Barcelona Flights, Hotels and Transfers

Barcelona is one of the rare cities that pairs a Mediterranean shoreline with Gaudí's fantastical architecture. You can see the coloured light inside the Sagrada Família in the morning, swim at Barceloneta in the afternoon and finish the evening in the tapas bars of the Gothic Quarter. For anyone drawn to Catalan food, football or design, the weather stays mild for most of the year.

Highlights

• Sagrada Família

  Gaudí's still-unfinished basilica; the hour you book changes the mood, because of the stained glass.

• Park Güell

  Mosaic benches and a terrace over the city — Gaudí at his most playful; timed entry required.

• Gothic Quarter and La Rambla

  Medieval lanes, the cathedral and the city's liveliest boulevard.

• Barceloneta and the beach

  A city beach reachable by metro, known for its seafood restaurants.
